thanks, I can kill again!

hey guys, Iam not a noobie, but not too hot on computer technologies, a search on this site wasnt that helpful. Can someone give me a link for my problem: I have vanilla Civ 4, my XP computer died, now I have a Vista machine and cant load Civ4, it says something about shader libraries...

Hi guys, After reading all 59 pages of this condensed tips, yeah go figure, I would like to add a few of my own: 1. If you change to the Slavery Civic, USE IT! and learn how to use it well. It has been hinted at, in a few posts, but I think that the slavery civic, so early can be the...

but there is trade, and unfair trade.

I agree mate, in the book "What If..." or "more What If..." It is argued that Christianity would not have happened if a small tribe called "The Jews" did not break their mountaintop siege by poisoning the water supply of their be-siegers. (great set of books BTW)

Yeah, sorry, I got my Stalins and Lenins, Stalinggrads and Leningrads a bit mixed up lol I agree, but I dont like the spy in Civ 4 (although I use them lol). "Spys" are as old as warfare so to have them so late in the game is annoying, and yeah I would like them to have more capability like...

Ok a history lesson: The petty bit: Leningrad and Tet weren't in the last 10yrs. The proper bit: Leningrad: This was attacked for the following reasons, Hitler, was obsessed with the destruction of Communism. And Leningrad was the "birthplace" of...

I never said i totally agree with cultural subsumation, Iam saying there needs to be "control" of an area during peace time, and culture is quite a good way of determining that. I see it as representing to where the locals within that square look to for leadership/guidance/command/standard of...

Iam afraid I disagree with this: Although the theory and gameplay is understandable, this would rarely work in the more modern areas. Rarely twars are conducted against a nation that is equipped along the same standardisation lines as yourself. take the Sov/US influenced (and possible...

Guys Iam not good with this quoting system, so if the wrong quotes are atributted Iam sorry, but Iam trying to get a point across, not be a cut and paste expert. I think here that borders during peace time need to be determined by something like culture, which I think is good part of the...

Obviously, or have the posibility to leave your Civ, and become the religious leader of a religion once founded.

How about in Civ V, where you have the choice to be a Civ, or a Religion? Most Religions in their time have acted like the classic Civs in Civ. But they have influenced more than one country.

Tech loss: if techs were easier to gain the more different Civs have found them, the this "lost knowledge" would be easier to "re-gain"

Here is a thorny subject, it has been raised quite early, I think under the question of why isnt Hitler a possible leader? In Civ V, if there were to be the capability of Cities declaring themselves independant and forming nations not under the control of a recognised starting civilisation...
